His cap number for 2027 is now $54.866 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">San Francisco was regarded as a potential landing spot for Joey Bosa last offseason before he signed with the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Available again this year after finishing 2025 with five sacks and 54 pressures \u2014 24th among edge defenders with at least 100 pass rush snaps, per PFF \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotrac.com\/nfl\/player\/market-value\/_\/id\/18951\/joey-bosa\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Spotrac<\/a> gives him a market value of $13.7 million per year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As such, the restructure of his sibling\u2019s deal gives the 49ers extra room for maneuver to finally pair the two brothers on the same defensive line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Outside of Bosa, the 49ers have little in terms of outside pass-rushing talent following Huff\u2019s retirement. Mykel Williams and Keion White are better used as inside rushers, though Sam Okuyainonu has shown he can generate disruption off the edge as well as through the middle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Adding Joey Bosa would give the 49ers a veteran who can take some of the pressure off Williams by assuming a high number of snaps as a base defensive end, freeing up the 2025 first-rounder to spend more time rushing the passer from the interior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The 49ers would likely still look to add a long-term rotational pass rusher via this year\u2019s draft if they did sign the elder Bosa, but, for the forthcoming season, it would be a smart, floor-raising move for a defensive line light on proven disruptors. It would be no surprise if Nick Bosa\u2019s restructure is soon followed by the signing of his brother.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Saturday, it was reported that the 49ers made a move with Nick Bosa that could help facilitate&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":813866,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,6,52326,52067,1137],"class_list":{"0":"post-813865","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-free-agency","11":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-roster","12":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116233851623979912","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=813865"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813865\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/813866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=813865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=813865"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=813865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
